Tessa continued, “Of course, I hope our two companies can work together amicably rather than end up in a hostile standoff.”Mike’s expression darkened; he hadn’t expected to run into such a tough one today—he’d clearly kicked an iron wall. He quickly masked the desire in his eyes, realizing that Grace was truly outrageous to have sent her own daughter to handle this. All this over a project? Was it really necessary?“Does your mother know you came to talk cooperation with me?” Mike asked, a hint of curiosity in his tone. He wasn’t sure whether Grace knew her eldest daughter was here negotiating with him. After what he’d tried with Tessa, he shuddered at the thought of what that madwoman might do if she ever found out.“This is an essential corporate project. Besides, you’ve worked with our company before, so coming to you again makes perfect sense.”Tessa spoke calmly, neither servile nor arrogant, keeping her words firmly within the bounds of business. From her composure alone, Mi

“Since our partnership is going well, shouldn’t we shake on it?”Tessa hesitated.She really didn’t want to shake his hand.When Mike extended his hand toward her, she hesitated for a moment. After what had happened earlier, the thought only made things more awkward. The way he looked at her now didn’t sit right.It was clear his intentions weren’t pure.“Maybe we can skip the handshake,” she said uncertainly. “We’ve already agreed to the partnership, and I’ll deliver on everything I promised. As for the rest, I think it’s better if we don’t have too much unnecessary contact.”Mike’s expression turned sour.“Do you even hear yourself?” he snapped coldly. “We’re business partners now, and you’re saying we shouldn’t have much contact? Does that make any sense?”Tessa paused. Thinking it over, she realized her words did sound unreasonable. They were partners after all, and there would be plenty of interactions ahead. If she avoided him now, what would that mean later? Meeting his sharp

At first, Aaron had been full of excitement, but the moment he heard her words, most of his interest faded. Seeing this, Tessa wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered softly by his ear, her breath warm against his skin. “Aaron, it’s just that I’ve been wronged lately, so I wanted to talk to you about it.“Normally, I could put up with it, but I’m already with you, and there are still people who dare to bully me. The more I think about it, the harder it is to swallow.”“There’s something like that?” Aaron frowned, anger flaring up as he looked at her pitiful expression. She was right—she belonged to him now, and someone dared to treat her this way? That was clearly a slap in his face.As if reading his mind, Tessa continued gently, “I don’t mind being treated unfairly, but since I’m your woman now, if someone bullies me, isn’t that the same as disrespecting you?“In my eyes, that’s no different from insulting you outright.”Aaron’s mind cleared a little, and he found her reason

With someone like Aurora joining the show, the director’s plan was clear.He wanted her to explain architectural concepts in a lively and engaging way, bringing the subject to life for the audience.When Aurora received the news, she readily agreed. “Mr. Smith, I’ll follow your schedule. Just let me know the plan, and I’ll be there anytime. I’ve already cleared it with my studio.”Hearing that, the director’s impression of her rose even higher. It was rare to see such a responsible and cooperative entrepreneur. To him, it didn’t matter whether her studio was big or small—she was still a business owner, and that already set her apart. Most capitalists he’d worked with before looked down on him, treating him like an entertainer who didn’t deserve respect.But Aurora was different. She treated him with genuine respect and equality, even going out of her way to praise his work. Her attitude never changed—always sincere, always professional. The director found that incredibly rare. Aft

Then there was nothing left to worry about.Thinking that, Megan actually felt a little excited. She had been waiting far too long for this, never finding the right opportunity. Now that she finally had a chance to join, she’d get to meet all those celebrities she had imagined seeing before.“It’s already been delayed long enough—this can hardly be called fast,” Aurora said with a helpless smile. “Besides, the director already confirmed the poster with me. It should be released soon.”“Then I’ll be the first one to give it a like,” Megan said eagerly. She had always adored Aurora’s striking beauty. Having a friend like her felt like a point of pride. Even as a child, her classmates would envy her, and now, as an adult, she still felt proud to say she was Aurora’s close friend.“Alright, you always know how to flatter,” Aurora said with an amused sigh.“I’m only telling the truth,” Megan replied proudly.“So, I’m just reminding you—make sure you come to work on time next time.
